What Fiat / Lancia do you own?

In now have a 1971 blue 850 spider. I am the 3rd owner.

When did you get your first Fiat or Lancia?

In 1969, I purchased my 1967 Fiat 850 spider. It was saddle beige which under street lights appeared to be purple. Shortly after buying it, it was struck by a new driver who had only a learner's permit. Also he was with is mom with him. Poor guy. I wonder if he ever got his license. I then had it totally painted Daytona Yellow. This was 2 years before the 850 was acutally offered by Fiat. Marriage and children were the reason it was sold.

What is your favorite driving story, or memory?

Everday driving my 850 is a story and a memory. The top is down when the temp is above 38F. Why have a convertable if you don't have the top down.
